To keep NetSuite production stable and error-free, most teams use a sandbox—or a combination of sandboxes—for the development and testing of new customizations before deploying them live. This proper development cycle is often hindered by sandboxes drifting apart from production, which might cause customizations to behave differently. 

To maintain realistic testing conditions, your sandbox environments should always mirror the live account. However, keeping two NetSuite accounts synced is a lot of manual work. 

Enter Salto’s ‘Compare & Deploy’ feature. With only a few clicks, Salto will fetch the most up-to-date configuration of two different NetSuite accounts (e.g. sandbox and production), create a side-by-side comparison, and show you all the differences between them. 

This feature can help you:

• Understand what in-progress changes might be wiped out when preparing for a sandbox refresh
• Identify what features have made it into testing but not into production
• Easily spot any differences in configuration among related environments 

Here’s a tutorial by NetSuite expert Eric Grubaugh walking you through exactly how Salto’s ‘Compare & Deploy’ works: 
‍

Not only does Salto save you tons of time you’d otherwise spend sifting through configuration, but it also lets you select specific elements and move them between environments with all required dependencies, cutting down on manual errors.

And because Salto makes syncing accounts so straightforward, you can make it a routine operation and never have to worry about your sandboxes becoming outdated.
